The writing's on the wall

51stcenturyfoxHave been discussing Torchwood S3 now resembling the X-Files mytharc:
Producer Peter Bennett describes the overall plot of the week-long, five-episode arc as "about a government that did a deal with aliens back in the '60s, and they're now dealing with the consequences of that deal when the sins of their past come back to haunt them," according to Digital Spy.
Remember: There's a lot to love about "Torchwood," especially for fans of the early days of "The X-Files," when it was more of a clever horror anthology series and the alien conspiracy had yet to take over the plot.
Torchwood, please. Don't let an alien conspiracy take over the plot.
Somewhat related: I was watching the Angel ep Destiny this morning (because there really is no better way to wake up than to watch two hot vampires fight over a fake Holy Grail full of Mountain Dew) I had to reflect on this:
People freaking out and writing words on the wall in blood is common visual shorthand for "somebody's flipped the hell out, Manson-style". Not sure if that falls under Room Full of Crazy or Couldn't Find A Pen
I like the way Angel did it better than Torchwood. It's true. Nobody ever changes the damn toner cartridge!
Had to love that the Angel "grail" had been found in Petra. Nice nod to Indiana Jones. Angel = high crack.
